*Unity of effect- single overall feeling
*Poe: very structured in his writing. Exploring the strange and fantastic, conveying psychological terror through carefully chosen details and events.
*Mood- feeling or atmosphere.
*He receives a letter from an old friend telling him to go to the house of Usher.
*When he gets there he sees how sick Rodrick and Madeline are.
*When the sister goes into a somewhat trance and seems dead they bury her (alive.) The brother knows this, the man does not.
*The brother has very sensitive senses so he can hear his sister yelling for help an her nails clawing at the coffin.
*The one night Madeline gets free and kills Rodrick.
*The other man runs out of the house once he realizes how crazy they all are, then once Madeline and Rodrick are both dead the house falls to the ground. This is because since the family tree never branched out the curse is over, since the house is part of the family it must die with the last of the family members.
